Growing Frenzy

Flowers and people need to reach up to receive their strength.

Flowers need to get their strength from the sun and need to continue to go back to God for his strength and example, growing to be more like Him.

Sample of script:

[Zack is sitting onstage, reading a magazine.]

[Debbie enters, carrying a tray of potted flowers.]

ZACK:
Hey Debbie, whatcha got there?

DEBBIE:
Zack Collins, what does it look like I have here?

ZACK:
Well, I’m not real good at names, but I do know for sure it's some kinda flowers.

DEBBIE:
Yes, they are flowers—(name of flowers) to be exact.
I’m starting these flowers off in the house to give them a good start before moving them outside to my flower garden.

(Pauses, looks around)
Wish I had an H-I-D lamp.

ZACK:
Don’t understand, Debbie. If your lamp was hid… you couldn’t see it, so what good would it be?

DEBBIE:
No, Zack, H-I-D lamps are high-intensity discharge lamps, and they help grow young seedlings into strong, healthy plants.
Lamps provide the light to help replace the sun’s light when plants are grown inside.

ZACK:
So sunshine isn’t just for giving me a suntan and making me more beautiful?

DEBBIE:
Uhhh, no, Zack. The sun does much, much more…
The sun provides growth for all things on Earth. And when the sun doesn’t shine for several days, plants will shrivel and may even die.

ZACK:
Wow! That’s serious!

DEBBIE:
In fact, to get maximum benefit from the sun, some flowers—such as poppies, marigolds, and even sunflowers—kind of follow the sun as it moves across the sky from sunup to sundown.

ZACK:
Wow, so the flowers are kinda like reaching up to the sun?

DEBBIE:
That’s really a great way of putting it, Zack!

ZACK:
Well, I do hit a home run every now and then, you know.
